Let the Platforms Burn

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

i used to ridicule people for posting on twitter and facebook saying how ephemeral it was and what's the point of putting everything in a walled garden. now reddit's gone to shit and i feel a fool. turns out it's not as open as it appeared to be
i really hope this catalyses many people into going back to their own websites and using rss. i know they're still not that permanent, but at least if your site host turns to shit you can pack up and leave.
